Have you been watching applied science again?

TCW

Yaaay

John McCormick

You are slowly becoming a mad scientist.

Prying

how on earth did you get that ??

Digipan and x-ray tubes are available on eBay, but this particular box is from another Patreon supporter

yeeeeeahh... I am going back to my prediction of a pile of ash with a beard discovered in Germany... Marco - where do you even start with 100KV? I do worry about your aspirations - at the very least think of the children - by which I mean invest in some lead-lined unterhose ;o)

marcoreps

maybe I can offset all the dangerous, unhealthy stuff with a fume extractor and and an indoor spinning bike 🤔

I’m more imagining that scene from the Simpsons where Mr Bu...Reps emerges from the forest all glowing ... positive side note, I guess - your next Christmas cards will be a doozy.

I'm feeling dumb because apparently everyone here knows what that thing is. According to my google-fu results this could be a part used in a panoramic radiography machine? As in x-rays made at the dentist? So that Toshiba thing is an x-ray electron tube?

marcoreps

The big capacitors have nothing to do with anything, the Digipan is an x-ray sensor array which can basically take an x-ray photo without using film and yes the tube is indeed an x-ray tube :) If I get a suitable voltage source, I'll be able to look through and into small things :)

Ryan Kerick

Marco, you left out the solid 1:45 off the end where I just stare at the box of peanuts wondering if you are finally going to do a scare take.

Uwe Zimmermann

I am not saying you should, but you most probably could get significant intensities of X-rays from that tube already at a voltage of 10 kV....

Jan Ka

Thanks for clearing that up! I'm looking forward to it. Maybe try to get some form of lead vest beforehand?

marcoreps

Yeh, much more than just a vest I think. I want lead sheet metal and make a little box for sort of a permanent x-ray device
